The Community Review

Sometimes we discover great television programs through the recommendations of our friends and family. My wife and I started watching The Big Bang Theory, for example, after being told by her parents that it was a great show for the last two years or so.

Being Deaf — or just being Blind — is enough of a challenge to survival but those who are hit with both disabilities in the same body are truly the world’s misbegotten and they deserve our highest protection.

There are approximately 40,000 people in the United States who are deafblind.  Hearing and vision are the primary senses through which we learn and collect data.  Hearing is the basis of communication and 80 percent of what we learn is through the visual sense.
